Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My wife and I were on the drive thru line at wendys, it was raining out and I cracked the front passenger window for a litle air. A minute later we smelled something burning we werent sure where the smell was coming from until my passenger side window/lock/and heated seat switch started to emit smoke. Of course we were in a state of panic, we quickly exited the line and pulled over I didnt know what to do other than pull up the switch housing from the door panel. After doing so the smoke was evident and the wires and actual plastic housing caught fire. I was able to put the fire out. …”
NHTSA complaint #10767380, filed 2015-09, 150,000 miles“Driver side window at first is slow to go down and even more slowly to go up. But now the driver side power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. Currently I don't even use the power window because I'm worried that it may not even close or work at all. I found a recall but Saab customer service say it's only for 05-08 Saab 9-7. I believe base on the reports that I'm having the same issue as recall number: 14v404000.”
